The structured Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," which governs, although the notice's narrative text contains a small business set-aside marker that conflicts with that line.

All hardware must be new and OEM-warranted, with no refurbished or gray-market items accepted. Offerors must be the OEM or an authorized Beckman Coulter distributor able to provide full OEM warranty and factory installation support.
Evaluation considers technical capability, including exact part numbers with OEM or distributor verification, delivery schedule performance, past performance on similar laboratory instrumentation, and total firm-fixed price. Payment is Net 30 after government acceptance and proper invoice submission through the Invoice Processing Platform. The NAICS code is 334516 with a 1,000-employee size standard, and the PSC is 6640.
